I always get “You don’t look like you should use a wheelchair,” but WTF does that mean?
People that say this statement are woefully ignorant, but I try not to get mad. I always tell these well-meaning souls that anyone can have a disability, become disabled at any point in life, and that doesn’t change one’s looks. Why should it?! You’re ugly if you’re ugly, not because a wheelchair enters the picture.
Why did I create this site? Simple. To let women and men with disabilities truly see that they’re just as awesome as anyone else, and that a life they’ll love is in reach. I was inspired by a woman by the name of Karen C. when I was 19, a paraplegic living her life exactly how she wanted to and she was amazing – sexy, had 3 kids, married worked a great job, drove a super dope car – and after that lightbulb moment of, Whoa life isn’t over after all, I created BeautyAbility.com so other women in my very same situation could also see the light and be excited about their future once again.

Amen! And thank u.for voicing that buried though!
I was talking to a colleague of mine, and he made the comment, “It doesn’t look like there’s anything wrong with you.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I replied, “Because there isn’t…”
This is a great work Tiffiny. Keep it up.
